How is epididymitis treated, and what medications are good to take?

Patient's question:

I have pain and a bloated feeling on both sides of my penis. It hurts extremely when I'm excited, and my ejaculation is very fast. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

With epididymitis, it is generally recommended to have a clear understanding of the contagious pathogens involved. It is usually advised to conduct urine culture tests and thorough examinations for mycoplasma and chlamydia. Based on the identified infectious factors, targeted treatment should be administered.
The primary treatment method involves sufficient and prolonged antibiotic therapy, bed rest, elevating the scrotum, avoiding strenuous or excessive exercise, and strictly refraining from smoking, prolonged sitting, and spicy foods. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment duration is typically long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor during treatment, appropriate medication use, avoiding prolonged sitting or riding, and maintaining good personal hygiene are essential.
